Marshfield Apologizes To Weinfurter
Mary Langreck

June 8, 2005 - Marshfield Super Speedway would like to apologize to Jeff Weinfurter, his race team, the Weinfurter family, race fans and sponsors for a call made during the feature race Saturday, June 4th.  The call during the race had been made to give Weinfurter the pick a lane flag, which after reviewing the race on video tape was proven to be the wrong call on the part of speedway officials and Weinfurter should not have been penalized.  Speedway officials reversed the decision awarding a tie to Weinfurter and Chris Weinkauf.

A correction of a published photo of Weinfurter and Weinkauf that read the two were battling for the lead was also an error as the photo was taken under caution.

Effective immediately, the pick a lane flag will no longer be used at the Speedway as it has been deemed too much of a judgment decision in its use.  Drivers will be allowed to run their race without interference of speedway officials.
